Those you mention on the "front lines" -- teachers, police, employees -- have all the responsibility and none of the authority. Micromanagement, surveillance, and legally-imposed behavior controls have limited those who have to interact with people. It"s mind-numbing.<br /><br />I've been impressed with the NYPD's back-turmimg protest. I would be more impressed if they did it while continuing to do their jobs to the best of their ability, as I understand ticket-writing is way down. But why put yourself out on the line when the NYC mayor is beating his chest, cautioning his son that the police are out to get him?<br /><br />Ultimately, the people of NYC elected De Blasio with over 73% of the vote. Elections have consequences, and De Blasio is running Gotham the way he said he would... as an unabashed liberal. <br /><br />This is what you get from government by lawyers and activists... a theoretical, non-parallel universe of fantasy, advocating the great lie: that there are no consequences.

For them it's about popularity, avoiding controversy, and keeping the target off themselves. They set policy which makes it impossible the people under them to teach, enforce the law, and work with some dignity. School administrator are telling teachers not to discipline minority students because they fear charges of "disparate treatment." Police are being told essentially not to enforce the law so much. Corporate employees are being sacrificed for appearances sake if they do the right thing. All this is leading to misery and more social decay, and making good people throw in the towel.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899699250195298210noreply@blogger.com
